Bassnectar Targets Spring For Intimate Gigs

Having played to more than 220,000 fans in 2012, Bassnectar is downsizing for spring 2013 as the electronic musician/DJ lines up a short series of shows in smaller rooms as he goes for more intimate appearances. Beginning in late-April, destinations include Boston, Providence, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.

You might say Lorin Ashton aka Bassnectar is striking while the proverbial iron is glowing. Last year saw the release of his Vava Vooom LP as well as his Freestyle mixtape and EP that included collaborations with Lupe Fiasco, Angel Haze, Amp Live, Mimi Page and DC Breaks.

Thriftworks appears on all dates. Michal Menert appears Apr. 24-25, May 2-4 and May 11-12. Archnemesis appears Apr. 26; GriZ appears April 27-May 1 and May 5-9; and Up Until Now is on the May 10 lineup.
